"Terrified"

"Terrified"

I'm terrified of myself I was always to blame

Deep down in my soul made to feel so much shame

Sometimes I am sinking into a deep, deep dark hole

It's a rocky road ahead not feeling very close to God

Feeling lonely I'd say most times with things going through my mind

Feeling empty on the inside as I'm figuring out life

Sometimes I won't admit it when I'm not in control

Like a whirlwind, blowing, spinning as it penetrates my soul

Sometimes I look for God I keep thinking He don't care

It's just another fleeting moment as I'm pulling out my hair

It's the words that we say as we're passing through this life

They cut deep into your heart just sharp as a knife

Sometimes it leaves a wound and sometimes it leaves a scar

Swirling around inside your mind telling us who we are

Just like poison in our veins we scream, we scream and we cry

It is then that it kills us as we give up and die

"Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine?"

"Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine?"

When people meet and they feel that they're in love they believe it's love at first sight

But they don't really know each other well but she believes that she's met Mr Right

He is charming and soon he has won her heart charisma is swooning her that day

They get close and they feel that they're in love she's only nice if he gets his way

Chorus

Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine can they hug each other every day

Do they have anything in common or do they always want their own way

One is prickly you can't get very close to it the other smells especially when it sprays

Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine they're not compatible in any kind of way

In a bar or a club as both their eyes will meet they get up and they start to dance

He thinks that this is the girl for him he's not sure if he wants to take a chance

But as they dance very close to a song that night she whispers in his ear it's what she said

Tonight my husband is not at the club with me, honey; tonight I'm your lady in red

Chorus

Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine can they hug each other every day

Do they have anything in common or do they always want their own way

One is prickly you can't get very close to it the other smells especially when it sprays

Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine they're not compatible in any kind of way

In the future trouble will look for you so be careful and don't get involved

Listen to what your momma told you don't be deceived and do as you were told

The right person you're looking for is on their way don't rush along with the first one you meet

If you wait and be patient for the love you seek it is then that your life will be complete.

Chorus

Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine can they hug each other every day

Do they have anything in common or do they always want their own way

One is prickly you can't get very close to it the other smells especially when it sprays

Can a skunk fall in love with a porcupine they're not compatible in any kind of way

"Memories of yesterday"

"Memories of yesterday"

The memories of yesterday all trapped inside my mind

I played back all the good times as I started to rewind

Never having any problems enjoying the things I did

I loved the freedom way back then the freedom of a kid

Then things began to change as I turned into a teen

Life wouldn't be the same of the years that had been

Exposed to smoking, drinking which had its grip on me

It changed my life forever not the kid I used to be

But I have no regrets for the things that I had done

Put it all down to experience along the way I had some fun

I was rockin' and a rollin' long hair and denim jeans

I went to all the parties dancin' to the disco scene

Then I started working it was good for awhile

You realize you need some cash to finance your teen lifestyle

Then I got the taste of money had no time to relax

I said hey, where did all my money go? I had to pay so much darn tax.
